Winston Industries and Ewing SA enter into an agreement that requires Ewing to build three diesel-electric engines to Winston's specifications. Upon completion of the engines, Winston has agreed to rent them for a period of 10 years and to assume all costs and risks of ownership. The lease is non-cancelable, becomes effective on January 1, 2019, and requiresannual rental payments of €384,532 each January 1, starting January 1, 2019. Winston's incremental borrowing rate is 8%. The implicit interest rate used by Ewing and known to Winston is 6%. The market value of the three engines is €3,000,000 at total at the lease commencement. The total cost of building the three engines is €2,600,000. The economic life of the engines is estimated to be 10 years, with residual value set at zero. Winston depreciates similar equipment on a straight-line basis. At the end of the lease, Winston assumes title to the engines. Collectibility of the lease payments is probable. Present value of an annuity-due of $1 at 6% for 10 years is 7.80169. Present value of an annuity-due of $1 at 8% for 10 yea
